KEBS officers to face charges over Ksh.64M tax revenue loss

Several officials from the Kenya Bureau of Standards and customs are to be charged with defrauding the government of Ksh.64.9million in taxes.

A statement from the Director of Public Prosecution accused the officers of colluding with three companies to undervalue imported goods.

“Following numerous cases of evasion and avoidance of tax payment that has affected collection of government revenue, the DCI commenced investigations with regard to mis-declarations and importation of contraband products into the country,” the statement reads.
